Good Friday

Good Friday

Friday, April 3, 2026 – Good Friday

Scripture: John 18:1–19:42

Scripture Summary:
Jesus is arrested, tried, crucified, and laid in a tomb. Even in suffering, He remains faithful.

Devotional:
This is the day everything goes quiet. The hopes of the disciples seem to collapse under the weight of the cross. It’s called “Good Friday,” not because it feels good, but because God is still at work, even here. Even in suffering. Even in loss. Even in death. When we walk through our darkest moments, this day reminds us that God does not abandon us there. God is still Good.

Prayer:
God, when the world feels heavy and hope feels distant, remind me that you are still present. Amen.

Holy Thursday

02 Apr
Holy Thursday

Thursday, April 2, 2026 – Maundy Thursday

Scripture: John 13:1–17, 31–35

Scripture Summary:
Jesus washes the disciples’ feet and gives a new commandment: love one another as He has loved them.

Devotional:
On the night before the cross, Jesus kneels. He washes feet, dusty, tired, undeserving feet. This is love, not as a feeling, but as an action. Not as words, but as service. “Love one another,” Jesus says. Not when it’s easy. Not when it’s convenient. But as I have loved you. Holy Thursday calls us to a humble, sacrificial love that shows up and serves.

Prayer:
God, teach me to love not just in words, but in action. Amen.

Holy Wednesday

Holy Wednesday

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 – Holy Wednesday

Scripture: Matthew 26:14–25

Scripture Summary:
Judas agrees to betray Jesus, and during a meal, Jesus reveals that one of His own will hand Him over.

Devotional:
It’s one of the hardest moments in the story, betrayal from someone close. Holy Week doesn’t ignore the reality of broken trust and human weakness. Sometimes the deepest wounds come from those nearest to us. Yet even here, Jesus does not lash out or turn away. He continues to love, even knowing what is coming. This is the kind of love we are invited into, a love that remains, even when it hurts.

Prayer:
God, teach me to love with grace, even when I’ve been hurt. Amen.
